That Boden HotchPotch Jersey dress would be so useful for work - can anyone help me find an online equivalent that doesn't a)come from Boden b) have a seven week wait and c) have the word HotchPotch in the title (shudder)?

enid the -ahem- boden jersey wrap dress in the greenish shade is quiet nice, have you had a look at it?

fishie · 17/10/2007 10:23

You're not a 14 by any chance
I have a fabulous monsoon dress in my wardrobe that I bought in the sale, I'm not a 14 in the hips/ass bit so it looks shite on me, I saw the shop girl in and she looked sensational

oliveoil · 17/10/2007 10:33

says handwash but I would machine

tons on fc

(dd1 went in today with no tears and told MIL to go away and went in herself!)

CountessDracula · 17/10/2007 10:33

Ah but enid
If you like it does it really matter where it comes from? Maybe you are just a boden kinda gal

serioulsy
I ummed and ahhhed about a lovely black babycord jacket the other day. Had it said topshop not laura ashley on the label i would have bought it in an instant
Then I slapped myself around the face and told myself to get a grip and stop being so pathetic and I bought it

CountessDracula · 17/10/2007 10:34

no no she's a 12 aren't you Enid
I am a 14 tho
what's it like?

happystory · 17/10/2007 10:35

I've got that fatfce one, but not sure if you could wear as a dress, am tall and wear it over trousers- but it is fab and comfy and trendy (for me!)

Piffle · 17/10/2007 10:41

just lobbed a pic of it on my profile
was planning to ebay it as soon as I found ten mins spare time...
yeah exactly

Piffle · 17/10/2007 10:41

CountessDracula · 17/10/2007 10:43
